Set the cable machine height or anchor your resistance band at chest height.
Stand side-on to the cable or band, with your working arm farthest from the anchor point.
Begin in a side lunge position—your inside leg (closest to the anchor) should be bent, and your outside leg straight.
Hold the handle across your body at chest height with both hands or the working hand, depending on resistance.
From this position, pull the band or cable across your body in an opening motion, allowing your chest to open and rotate slightly as you retract your shoulder blades.
As you perform the pull, simultaneously shift your weight laterally into the opposite leg, finishing in a lunge on the far side.
Keep the movement smooth and controlled, maintaining arm height.
Return to the starting position and repeat as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
